Week One of our Journey!

The first week of 'The Journey' is finished. I love this systematic study. Others that I've talked to are excited and loving it, too! People are talking about their study, just about everywhere I go...this, to me, is so much fun!

I'm sticking with John 14:27 as my life verse for now...and, this week, I've purposed to:

**Ask Jesus to read His Word to me--the chapter of the day, that I may hear what He has to say to me and see it in a different light than perhaps ever before!

**Keep my to do list either near by, on sticky notes, OR, write it before I sit down to study and make it a matter of prayer for my day....amazing the amount of 'calmness' that little practice has added to each day!

**The Word: is all about change...and delighting in the unexpected...I praise God for who He is and what He's done in my life...The Grace He has given even me!

Just for today: I got to spend the morning with eight women from our region of like-precious faith. We are working as a team on, what to us is a huge project for the Kingdom! I'm honored to know each of them...they are such an encouragement to me, and my faith...they are each a blessing straight from the Hand & Heart of God!

Then, this evening, I was privileged to go to dinner with my husband, to our friend's home for chili. While there, we met a couple that is new to our area...and had a great deep-seeded Bible discussion!!! What a delightful surprise!

...man shall not live on bread alone, but by every Word of God!!! Go, get some bread!
